December&nbsp;31, 2022, decision of the Competition Tribunal. The Tribunal had rejected the Commissioner&#146;s challenge of the proposed acquisition of Freedom Mobile by Videotron and the subsequent combination of Rogers and Shaw (the

the forward-looking information or could cause the current objectives, strategies and intentions of Rogers, Shaw or Quebecor to change. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the possibility that the Freedom Transaction
or the Rogers-Shaw merger will not be completed in the expected timeframe or at all; the possibility that the parties will not be able to reach a resolution with ISED regarding the Freedom Transaction; the possibility of further litigation or
regulatory proceedings associated with the Rogers-Shaw merger or the Freedom Transaction; the inability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Freedom transaction and the Rogers-Shaw merger in the expected time frame or at all; and general
economic, commercial and political conditions. Accordingly, we warn investors to exercise caution when considering statements containing forward-looking information and that it would be unreasonable to rely on such statements as creating legal
rights regarding the future results or plans of Rogers, Shaw or Quebecor. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking information will materialize and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information. Any

rights and other risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such closing conditions will be satisfied (including approval of ISED), or that the Freedom Transaction or the Rogers-Shaw merger will occur on the terms and conditions
described herein or previously announced. The Freedom Transaction and the Rogers-Shaw merger could be modified, restructured or terminated. There can also be no assurance that the outside date of the Rogers-Shaw merger will be further extended by
the parties, or that the outside date of the Freedom Transaction will be extended by the parties to the extent necessary to permit closing of either transaction to occur. Finally, no assurance can be given that the anticipated benefits of the
